The solution conformations of GM4 ganglioside [NeuAc(alpha 2----3)Gal (beta 1----1)Cer] in (2H3C)2SO and its component disaccharide in 2H2O were investigated with the aid of 1H-nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (nuclear Overhauser effect, analysis of coupling constants) and by energy-minimum calculations. The existence of three low-energy conformers obtained by theoretical calculations was supported by experimental findings in the case of GM4, whereas the disaccharide appears to exist as a mixture of two conformers.
借助氢核磁共振光谱法(核Overhauser效应、耦合常数分析)并通过能量最小化计算,研究了神经节苷脂GM4[NeuAc(α2→3)Gal(β1→1)Cer]在(2H3C)2SO中的溶液构象及其二糖组分在2H2O中的溶液构象。对于GM4,理论计算得到的三种低能构象的存在得到了实验结果的支持,而二糖似乎以两种构象的混合物形式存在。
